The importance of radiation dose optimisation
The radiation dose for any imaging examination is a serious concern and can be a limitation when attempting to preserve the diagnostic quality of the image. We investigate and solve a range of clinically relevant imaging problems that practitioners face on a daily basis. Our research covers a range of imaging modalities and examinations. We...

Image-guided Radiotherapy
Continual advancement of technology in medical imaging directly benefits cancer patients having radiotherapy treatment. Medical imaging is intrinsic to all aspects of the modern radiotherapy (RT) pathway. A patient’s cancer treatment pathway starts with imaging for diagnosis and staging of their disease. The use of medical imaging continues to be an integral part of their...

AI, big data and deep learning – the future of radiology
We are witnessing the third big transformation in the form of artificial or augmented intelligence. The discussion is no longer about “if it comes”, but “when it comes.” Radiology has transformed to an extraordinary degree since Roentgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895, comments Dr Jane Phillips-Hughes, President of the British Institute of Radiology. The 1970s...

Imaging and the transformation of healthcare
Since Roentgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895, medical imaging has evolved to an extraordinary degree. Imaging is now central to the diagnosis of almost every medical condition that affects us throughout life, from diagnosing conditions of a foetus in utero, through to the multiple co-morbidities that affect us in later life. It would have been...
